The Demo Krannert Center Workshop 2014

The Demo captures the 2014 performance of a unique music theater work written by Mikel Rouse and Ben Neill. This piece is inspired by Douglas Engelbart’s 1968 demonstration, which introduced revolutionary concepts such as videoconferencing and digital text editing.

The film presents a hybrid performance that combines technology with live music, reinterpreting Engelbart’s historic demonstration. It serves as a fascinating exploration of how early computing ideas have influenced modern technology and art. Collectors interested in the intersection of music and technology will find this documentary particularly engaging, as it showcases a pivotal moment in both fields.
